What's the best way to check if a String represents an integer in Java?

Question

I normally use the following idiom to check if a String can be converted to an integer.

public boolean isInteger( String input ) {
    try {
        Integer.

You just check NumberFormatException:-

 String value="123";
 try  
 {  
    int s=Integer.parseInt(any_int_val);
    // do something when integer values comes 
 }  
 catch(NumberFormatException nfe)  
 {  
          // do something when string values comes 
 }
